Why do we have so much negativity around us

Duality is at the core of everything around us.  There are two completely opposite ends and life survives in between.  I understand that world can function only when there is pair of opposites balancing each other.  Like day n night, hot n cold etc.   All is illusion and yet so true.  Is there no darkness?  It is said there is only light and if an object is placed in its path, then there is shadow on its opposite side.  That darkness is nothing but absence of light.  and if there is all light there is no darkness.   All is crystal clear.  However don't we need dark lines and shadows to define an object.   Aren't light and dark both necessity of life?  Both are required for understanding each other and experiencing life. 

News focuses on  what is going wrong and it blows out of proportion in our mind.  It shows us all darkness and negativity around us.  However, we are alive because negativity and positivity are in balance.  But too much media tries to project the chaos.  Which is not truth at all.  Most of the time world is in order...in things that we don't even notice.  For example, there is so much of honesty...we go to shop, we pay and get the balance  as well as the goods.  We go on vacations.  All is booked and we get comfort in return as per agreed terms.  Most of the times things are working in order.  We get services so easily. People are generally nice and helpful.   Facilities, treatments, essential services.  We are placed at appropriate places depending upon our karmic accounts, our place in spiritual evolution.  

World is not cruel.  Many many noble souls,  like Monks and spiritual groups etc , pray to God to keep everyone safe. We don't want anyone to suffer.  World was at war centuries ago too.  This yin and yang always co exists because this is the root of human survival.  

We build a strong house today, it is going to wear and tear subsequently.  Cells in our body,  die and are recreated every day.   This is life...new then old, fresh today stale tomorrow, healthy today unhealthy later.  This up down pendulum like swing in our lives continues.

I live in developing country and have seen so much since childhood.  Because on one side there is this stinkingly rich class and on other side people are with nothing.  Both are in pain of different kind.  People in developed countries have different blessings. But Really??

We have come here to experience life in its different vibrations and frequencies, varied nature, variety, 'spice', which I sometimes agree with and sometimes don't. Pain and pleasure exist everywhere. Nothing is permanent.  All is changing.  We have to learn from this diversity. If it becomes all positive or all negative, world will come to an end.

We cannot have sun up all the time like we cannot have long long nights.  We will not survive then.  This polarity of opposites is at root of our existence.

Why do we have EVIL in the world

The EVIL believes that the image in the mirror is his true self where as it is just an impression of his body, an illusion.  He is not what his eyes SEE and what his mind BELIEVES.

Broadly speaking, in nature, all manifested things have two sides - everything exists in pair of opposites.  This is called the Principle of Polarity*.  It is one of the seven Hermetic Principles.  There is One Truth and it has two ends i.e, two extremes.  Actually both are same but on different degrees.  For example 'cold' and 'hot' are both temperatures but their degrees are different.

In actual there is no such thing as EVIL.  In nature only truth exists.  Truth means 'being'.  anything in its actual form is truth.  Anything different from actual is untruth.  God is said to be the ultimate Truth and anything that we 'percieve' as separate or different from God is untruth.  All matter around us is made up of energy, we know as 'consciousness'.  It exists in varying degrees, the denser is the hardest one.

There are no absolutes at all.  If there is 'this' then there is 'that'.  If there is 'Light' then there is 'darkness'.   When we try to understand it deeply there is no such thing as darkness.   'Darkness' actually means 'absence of light'.  For example, when moon comes between earth and sun we experience night even though sun is always shining bright in the sky.  Any 'obstruction' coming in the path of light reflects darkness on the opposite side of that obstruction.  We have 'day' followed by 'night'. 

Due to the factor called 'time' everything manifest in this world is undergoing change all the time.  If there is construction, then there is wear & tear and  after sometime there is destruction due to time factor.  In fact, 'change' is the only thing on earth that is constant. 

Look at our own self.  How we changed from 'baby to adult' and are still changing.  Who is that 'I' within us that never changes.  That is our SOURCE.  That is God.  That is the Divine Life Force Energy that permeates this whole universe.  Many amongst us are 'aware' of something in us that makes us feel alive.  That is also called our consciousness.  When we are 'aware' of this 'presence' within us, we are said to be connected to our source within.  This is called the state of soul/ spirit consciousness.  We understand that we are not separate from our Creator.  Pots may look different but they are made up of the same clay.  When we are connected to our inner self, we tend to make less mistakes and act rationally.  During acts of meditation, we try to connect to ourselves, feel that Oneness with the Creator, our Source.

Evil are those who are totally disconnected from their divinity within.  Their ego called as body consciousness blinds their intellect and mind.  They think they are separate from the others and vice versa.  Thus they tend to move towards irrational and wrong actions.  When we put many blankets over a source of light, say a bulb, it becomes pitch dark and risky.  Now if we were to compare that bulb to our own inner divinity.  The good people are those who are connected to their inherent divinity...goodness.  The higher the connectedness, the higher the vibrations of goodness.  The opposite side is disconnectedness, lower vibration and badness.

When we constrict our mind and think only about our own self --my family, my job, my country etc, we are limiting ourselves.  For an evil person, there is nothing beyond themselves. We need to expand our mind.  The same mind can expand and using its power of imagination and can imagine the infinity of the sky and depth of the ocean.  Obviously such a thinker is bigger than the sky or ocean.  Container is always 'bigger' than the amount of water it can hold. 

Raising our vibration by lifting our heart, mind and passion higher than our sense of limitation will change our viewpoint.  When we view our life from a horizontal viewpoint it is far more limiting than if we looked at that same life from a vertical viewpoint. Imagine looking at the road standing under a tree or from the tree top. From ground level/ lower level, we see one thing at a time whereas from higher level we can even see and understand the sequence of events.  Connecting to our SELF takes us to lofty heights and makes our thinking crystal clear.  It makes us better human beings.  Light of 'knowledge'(I am Soul) removes the darkness of 'ignorance'(I am body) from our hearts and washes away the wickedness within.  Question is 'Do we want to do the necessary work'?

 * The Principle of Polarity states Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”
